The support of doing RSS for rte_flow_action was a cool idea
but it has been broken for several releases of DPDK as the
kernel and BPF infrastructure changed.
This series cleans up the BPF program, implements several
features that were never completed in the original code
and changes to use the current BPF toolchain.
The result should be easier to read and maintain.
v7 - use BPF CO:RE to handle build vs runtime in skb offsets.
- update documentation
- workaround for older distributions where support for
TC flower won't work. No flower == No flow support
Stephen Hemminger (8):
net/tap: do not duplicate fd's
net/tap: remove unused fields
net/tap: validate and setup parameters for BPF RSS
net/tap: do not build flow support if header is out of date
net/tap: rewrite the RSS BPF program
net/tap: use libbpf to load new BPF program
net/tap: remove no longer used files
doc: update documentation of TAP PMD
